Predicting the Redskins WR stats for 2017

With the NFL regular season rapidly approaching, teams are setting their collective goals and players are establishing their own 2017 milestones with the hope of reaching them.

The Washington Redskins receiver group will be heavily depended on for the team’s overall success for the 2017 season. In saying that, look for the wide receivers to put up some big numbers and make some noise.

Here are some statistical predictions for the 2017 Redskins receivers that should make the 53 man roster.

Redskins QB Kirk Cousins does a good job of spreading the ball around so a Redskins’ receiver hitting the century mark with receptions would be very surprising. That is a blessing in disguise because most quarterbacks only have one or maybe two receivers that they can throw to on a consistent basis. This receiving core may be the deepest and most talented group since “The Posse,” which included receivers Ricky Sanders, Art Monk, and Gary Clark.

The Redskins have a perfect mix of size and speed in their receiver group. Their big receivers can make tough catches and have the speed to stretch the field. The smaller receivers have the speed to win most of their one on one matchups. Don’t forget that the Redskins also have what can be considered the best tight end trio going into the 2017 season in Pro Bowler Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis and Niles Paul.

The offense will be fun to watch and capable of leading the Redskins back to the playoffs.
